- God answers our prayers not because we are good, but because He is good.
- [In our fast-paced life] we have no time for contemplation. We have no time to answer God when He calls.

- True prayer cannot be imitated nor can it be learned from someone else.
- Prayer at its holiest moment is the entering into God [where] miracles seem tame … by comparison.
- Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
- God’s loving motive is to bring us into total harmony with Himself so moral power & holy usefulness become ours.
- Nothing is complete in itself but requires something outside itself in order to exist.
- God formed us for His pleasure… He meant for us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.
- We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.

- You can see God from anywhere if your mind is set to love and obey Him.
- The key to prayer is simply praying.
- Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God.
- The facts are that God is not silent, has never been silent. Its the nature of God to speak.
- When we become too glib in prayer we are most surely talking to ourselves.
- To have found God and still pursue Him is the soul’s paradox of love.
- Let a man set his heart ONLY on doing the will of God and he is instantly free
- Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.
- See to it that we pray more than we preach and we will never preach ourselves out.
- The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.
